Martha Hervey did not know that it was Take Your Dog to Work Day on Friday, but she enjoyed the company of her Norfolk terrier Gus, and her larger dog Buddy. The family business usually has three dogs at T's Etc. on Broadway including Truman, a golden retriever. The campaign is sponsored by Pet Sitters International to promote pet adoption. The group doesn't track how many workplaces participate but said in the months leading up to it last year, nearly 100,000 people visited takeyourdog.com.¦Daniel Longar

Friday is Take Your Dog to Work Day, a campaign sponsored by Pet Sitters International to promote pet adoption. The group doesn't track how many workplaces participate, but said in the months leading up to it last year, nearly 100,000 people visited takeyourdog.com.

Auben Galloway was surprised to learn that Friday was Take Your Dog to Work Day. His dog Bruno spent the morning walking around the office of Callahan & Galloway Inc. Bruno can typically be seen in the office. ¦Daniel Longar
